Brett is a Melbourne based artist whose practice incorporates textiles, large and small scale sculptural installation, assemblage, printmaking and mixed media work. She is interested in surface texture, the layering of imagery and the movement between two and three dimensions.

Current Ideas within her work include female identity with a reframing of normative labelling and stereotypes; surveillance and technology, homelessness and asylum, impermanence, death and loss.
